Yup. Flying with hard currency or equivalents is difficult. Just don't bring the receipts or boxes for your new watch, bracelet, ear rings, and neck chain.

The Cuban citizens that have access to the internet do so through Nauta, a government ran network of wifi hotspots. This network is heavily filtered and operates basically on a whitelist. Even if GCP accepted packets from Cuba, your problem

If you read the definition you just quoted at me, it is basically the same. Any device that emits more than a single point of light, or is not hand held is not covered.

It's not really a conspiracy. The CIA actively uses vulnerable phones, televisions, and other devices as clandestine listening devices. 99.9% of HN readers are just too boring (read: not terrorists or foreign officials) to have to worr

If you stay on the line and calmly tell the operator it was an accident or test call, it is absolutely fine. I used to do telcom work for a machine shop. Part of my job was doing two 911 test calls every week (with and without an extra 9 fo

Almost all undersea cables are owned by consortiums that are responsible for installation and ongoing maintenance. Telecoms like Sprint or Level 3 buy fiber pairs and run the gear on each end.

Sprint is a telecommunications company, not just a mobile operator. They actually operate a 100G backbone between Australia and India (Perth to Mumbai via the SWE3 cable), so grand-parents question isn't that unreasonable. https:&#x2F

Because it is never the "China Government" CA that is the problem, it is a medium to large Western-based CA getting hacked. China, Iran, etc. don't want direct attribution.

Two different things. There is the clock which tracks the time (simplifying here), and the timezone data that helps display the clock. Changing observances requires you to push an update to computers to tell them that humans have decided t

The IPMI module can do DMA. It would be trivial to shim into the running kernel and talk to any interface the host has.

People also assume just because the management network is isolated, that attackers can't get to it. The Snodwen leaks showed us that NSA uses radio transmitters to jump to hosts that relay packets to and from the network. Someone with

You should really expand your circle of friends beyond conservatives and xenophobics. Most of the people I know who have cameras use them to make sure their kids get home safe on time, or keep an eye on the dog in the backyard.

GLB can't even support TCP and UDP listeners on the same IP, which means you can't put a DNS server behind it.

Certificates already support IP addresses. They just need to be public (i.e. not RFC1918 space) and for legacy browser compatibility the IP needs to be in the commonName and subjectAltName.

As someone who scans the internet (but not with hacked machines), I try every version of TLS to determine support. If you support older versions I scan more frequently to see when they are turned off. Feel free to point to this comment as e

You don't have to keep keys on boxes in random countries if you use a TLS oracle [1]. Another option is deploying the keys onto an HSM and pointing your frontends at that. 1. Here is CloudFlare's implementation (and pats themselve
